Austin Art Connection: The Goldilocks Show

Here's a show of such number, such diversity of talent, you'd need a dozen hands to count all the artists represented. But, luckily, you need only one method of transportation to see the goodness – small, medium, and large creations – on display. Dig it: New works by Rhody Adair, David Alcantar, Ines Batllo, Paul Beck, Sabra Booth, Tyler Butcher, Javier Lopez Cantu, John M. Carpenter, Thomas Cummins, Bryce Dishongh, Audrey Fox, C. Ellen Hart, Nancy Hoover, Erika Jaeggli, Alison Jardine, Nicole Jeffords, Eve Larson, Ellen Llewellyn, Shanny Lott, Marilyn Rea Nasky, and so many more! Through March 11. Lytle Pressley Contemporary, 1214 W. Sixth.

Domy Books: The Art of Wayne White

The man who most famously – besides his many other tropes and triumphs – joined typography with paintings found at thrift stores to brilliant effect is celebrated with an exhibition, "Beauty is Embarrassing." During the reception, he'll be signing copies of his new book, Maybe Now I'll Get the Respect I So Richly Deserve. We should paint this word in warped wood-grained letters of three dimensions: RECOMMENDED. Through April 19.

  • Rodeo Austin

    Not even South by Southwest can completely overshadow the other big party in town. As if the cattle-roping and bull-riding weren't enough, there will also be livestock contests, a barbecue cook-off, a carnival, and enough kid-friendly events to keep the ADD at bay. Oh yeah, artists such as Bret Michaels, Josh Turner, Demi Lovato, Glen Campbell, and many more will take the main stage. Go to www.rodeoaustin.com for a complete list of events or to buy tickets and just follow the big, gleaming belt buckles. Through March 24. Fairgrounds admission: $7 ($4, children); carnival: $32 (includes fairground admission); rodeo and concert: $37-175 (includes fairground admission).
